MATH AND CODING FOR KIDS

Enhance the way students practice math with a fun cross-curricular platform by CodeMonkey. Using a real coding language, students will solve different math puzzles and use code to help a Dodo bird reach its eggs!

Made with schools in mind

CROSS-CURRICULAR LEARNING

Dodo Does Math combines two important fields – math and computer programming. By integrating programming in the context of math problems, Dodo Does Math offers a much needed opportunity for teachers to expand the curriculum students are presented with in school.

REAL CODE

Each challenge uses CoffeeScript code, so students utilize a real-world coding language. While there are many coding languages to choose from, CoffeeScript is the perfect language for kids and beginners to learn since it has many real-life uses yet it remains intuitive to learn. CoffeeScript is similar to JavaScript in that it is primarily used for web applications, however, it has a much friendlier syntax that resembles the way we write in English.

SELF-GUIDED LEARNING PLATFORM​

With guidance along the way, practicing math and code has never been easier. Since learning programming at a young age helps students gain a lifetime of opportunities, the more intuitive the platform, the better. You can assign your class Dodo Does Math as extra math practice. Students can then independently continue practicing after-school as an AI system runs in the background and guides students with helpful hints and feedback.
